Key result
The GRACE score demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.75; 95% CI 0.63-0.87; p<0.001) in octogenarians with NSTE-ACS, while the CRUSADE score was inadequate.

May support GRACE for mortality prediction in octogenarian NSTE-ACS; leaves open validation of bleeding scores and prospective confirmation.
Observational (n=544)

In octogenarians with NSTE-ACS, the GRACE score is suitable for predicting in-hospital mortality, whereas the CRUSADE score is inadequate for predicting major bleeding.
Faustino et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) (n=544). GRACE and CRUSADE scores was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (AUC 0.75, 95% CI 0.63-0.87, p=<0.001). The GRACE score demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.75; 95% CI 0.63-0.87; p<0.001) in octogenarians with NSTE-ACS, while the CRUSADE score was inadequate.
